Terri~B - "Big Dictionary"
A massive 23 tracks of musical diversity, out on the Pet Hippy arm of Stone Prem. Terri-B is a talented singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, joined here by a whole crowd of guest musicians. Styles range from accessible pop to bizarre experimentalism; stand-out tracks for me include Dolly, an ominous look at the negative health effects of mobile phones, as well as an attack on social conformity, set to inventive and effective bleepy backing music; Golden Wings, a 70s-ish prog rock track; Losing Contact, best described as experimental rock; Big Dictionary, double entendre lyrics set to electronic bleepage; Mooncats, a gory supernatural horror tale with speeded up vocals, heavy rock guitar and experimental sound effects; Astral Dreams and Our Room, swirly, floaty psychedelic songs; and Lucky, laid-back folky psych-rock. There are also tracks here to appeal to those into more straightforward pop, rock and soul, as well as really weird experimental material.
